In the coming hours, the International Journal of MS Care, the official journal of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC), will publish the full text abstracts for the 38th CMSC Annual Meeting, which will take place from May 29 to June 1, 2024, in Nashville, Tennessee. These include all of the key data being presented at the annual meeting.

The abstracts will include platform, poster, and Whitaker Research Track presentations. A limited number of the full text supplements will be printed and available at the CMSC Annual Meeting—but a digital version, including late-breaking abstracts, will be available to all on the IJMSC website at IJMSC.org.
